You know you've been living in California too long if...
...you get super-excited to see a gas station is selling regular gas for $3.07, and you begin to wonder whether you should go get your car and fill up your tank, even though it's probably only a gallon away from full. Come on people, it's not everyday that you can buy gas for under $3.50. -
Countdown to....
"Can you guess what's coming?"

Order of the Phoenix
Yes of course the books will always be far better than the movies, but the movies are still enjoyable to watch!
Did anyone catch it at the IMAX in 3D? I thought it was a pretty cool experience! Awesome effects and none of the silliness that 3D films tend to have (I was a little worried the 3D would downplay the emotional drama in the last scene ( Read more... ) -

Back to Kentucky!
Tonight I'm jumping on a red-eye flight back to my old Kentucky home. Although I'm not particularly thrilled about the flight (I can hardly ever sleep well on planes), I'm so excited to be going home because I'll get to see Jason, my parents, my best friend Sarah, my brother (Andrew), and my sister-in-law (Kim)!! Jason is meeting me in KY on ( Read more... ) -

"No, you're totally f-ing with me. There's no way."
That was my response last night when my friend Morgan told me that I won this prestigous fellowship from the National Science Foundation (NSF). I couldn't believe him. Me? Holy crap. I applied last year and wasn't even close in the running. Now this year I receive the award? haha, this is either a terrible joke or a total misunderstanding ( Read more... )
